Streaming allows users to serve their content directly from Akamai edge servers, rather than downloading full files before they are veiwable. Using the OSMF plugins let developers make their own Adobe Flash players, giving them the flexibility to customize and brand them as they wish.

Since OSMF plugins allow you to develop your own Flash video player and embed it as needed into your website, Rackspace does not have step-by-step instructions. If you are looking for a player that does not require development by your team, try our FlowPlayer plugins for Streaming over the Akamai CDN.
